Starlight Shores

Starlight Shores

Starlight Shores is the newest neighborhood of The Sims 3 universe. As with all new neighborhoods, creating an instance of Starlight Shores is also creating a new save file: all families will be self-contained within it, and are unable to interact with your other families from other saves. (This is opposite of the World Adventures exception where the foreign countries were part of the same save file rather than being self-contained.)

Similar to Ambitions, new lot types have been introduced in Showtime. While Starlight Shores has all the new lots to take advantage of the new mechanics, you can still add the new lot types (or make your own) to existing neighborhoods and save files. It comes down to whether you want your established families to play with the new features, or whether you want to start from scratch.

This section of the wiki will assume you're starting from scratch, except for the Building Your Own Venue subsection, and thus we'll have a new instance of Starlight Shores ready to go.
